Howdy all! How is your mid week treating you? I am looking out the window watching the crazy Chicago weather. We have had 70 degrees, rain, sleet, and snow all rolled into 3 days. Insanity!

Last week I was on "spring" break (we midwestern college folks use that term very loosely) which usually amounts to spring cleaning week for me. My kids have a different schedule and I am not the type to pull them out of school to race off to a tropical location--though it was tempting!

First up on my cleaning list was the mudroom. Although (looks out window in disgust) we still get snow in March and even April, it wont be the heavy snow pants type. I cleared out all of the serious winter gear and broke out the lighter jackets and rain gear. As I was sorting, I noticed just how into hats my kids are. We have winter hats, ball caps, cowboy hats, holiday hats, silly hats, stylish hats--the list goes on and on.

It is completely my fault. See, when my daughter was born she was completely bald. She could have doubled as Mr. Clean's love child. And she stayed that way until after her SECOND birthday. Just a little soft blond fuzz. What is a mom to do? Buy hats!

After looking at the collection, I was inspired to make a little mini kit to share. Maybe I am not the only one that has a bunch of pictures of kids in happening hats. Hat's Off to all of you!

I know it seems horrible that I have to type this, but our site is being pirated with each freebie we post. Please download with respect. Thanks.
